If you plan to use the computer on the plane, check with the
airline you are using. In-flight computer use is at the discretion
of the airline.
■
Hand carry the computer in the slipcase; do not check it with
your luggage.

the computer or diskettes to an airport walk-through magnetic
detector or to an airport hand-held magnetic detector (usually,
a wand).
